The Real Olive Company

The Real Olive Company was founded in Bristol by Karin Andersson and Ben Flight in 1998. From the beginning, they have shared deep-rooted values guiding their mission to create sustainable, delicious food bursting with natural vitality.

Specialising in organic, fresh olives and antipasti, they source their olives from trusted growers on the shores of the Mediterranean – real people who understand the unhurried rhythms of the olive tree. From grove to table, every step retains each olive’s natural goodness. Hand-picked, prepared, marinated, and packed using time-honoured recipes and cold-pressed oils, their olives are a fresh and authentic taste of Mediterranean sunshine.

They believe that often the smallest things in life bring the greatest pleasure. Their purpose is to make life taste better by connecting people to the natural vitality of real food. They strive to make healthy choices taste great by creating natural and sustainable food that can be enjoyed together, nourishing mind, body, and soil.
